‘95 SL500 - thoughts on buying?
Any thoughts on swooping in on this with that much work done? Level of care and service is a major plus but also wondering if anyone would see any major issues in functionality/maintenance with a ‘95 vs looking for later years with the 5speed/OBDII/M113 or any other updates. Price is at 9k with 93k miles located in the south. Would be a low mile daily

I really like 96-98. I do agree there has been a lot of work done. What are the color combinations? How nice is the interior? Any clear coat peeling ? My son has a very large ebay store specializing in R129 parts and refurbishing. “thebenzgarage” on ebay. Good luck and check out some special SL’s like the Red anniversary model and the Silver Arrow. ok
